Girandole

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photograph of a hanging light fixture titled "Girandole" by an unknown artist. The fixture has a round, teardrop-shaped frame with a beaded border. A bird, possibly an eagle, is perched on top of the frame with outstretched wings. Two candle-like lights are on either side of the bottom of the frame. The fixture hangs from a cord or chain. The background is a plain wall.
